What have you done to your MS3 today?

i hope you road tuned after the dynapack dyno.......those put zero load on the motor


did a compression test for the hell of it

looking at the engine from left to right

190, 190, 185, 190

**** that 3rd cylinder

No road tune. I'll have to trust Shawns years of experience in tuning on this one. Still too early to tell if my tune is good. I haven't done any dataloging yet. Thanks for the heads up.
 
back from seafoaming...and um...holy s*** balls. I believe it set off fire alarms in the 183 year old woman's house next door to us. Smoking so bad, I couldn't see the car OR her house anymore. s*** was awesome lol. But yeah, 47k miles...I had TERRIBLE build up, definitely glad I did this. Really cleaned it out good, and car idles much smoother. Overall very pleased, but hell from all that smoke, I may not be posting much longer. Seafoaming my car = instant black lung disease. Feel like I been working in coal mines my whole life.

By not posting a vid you≥fail.......I wanted to see it darn youz!!!
 
Got my CP-E RMM back from gettin the second new bushing pressed in and it looks good this time! will be installing this weekend... Big thanks to Josh at CP-E for handling the issue
 
all I had was my phone camera, and it doesn't do video at night. It was 9 oclock when I did it = turbo back exhaust and 20 minutes of smoke all over my neighbor's houses, cars, yards, and infants, but it didn't show up on my phone. Came out pitch black. I tried though, I took a pic but it didn't come out. Sorry :(

It was a blast, though. Looked like puff the magic dragon
 
^^^so then you weren't able to see the smoke rings when you revved it...shame.

With the seafoam, I at least put the whole bottle in my gas every oil change, and I do the induction and fuel tank every 3rd change. This after the first time I used it on the induction system around 25k. I've only done the crankcase once and that was 2 oil changes ago (when I did the triple threat)

This upcoming change I will hit up the induction and get those valves nice and cleaned
 
I might have to wait in line for a cp-e HPFpump. After a quick datalog fuel pressure drop as low as 1100. I know that ain't that bad but something that needs to be taken care immediately. More dataloging tomorrow to confirm this. Everything else looks good. What a difference a protune does to the car. I like...for now.
 
Ugg...you all make me so worrisome. I have a craftsman scantool that can record but the frame rate is like every second, super slow. I'm going to have to check up on my pressures again now
 
oh yeah, I am pretty much fully bolted...and my next upgrade will have to be a fuel pump or internals. It's just difficult for me to save up that much money quickly. Birthday is in 3 months, hold on speed 3!!! lol

changed the oil with 5w30 castrol edge full synthetic last night and put back in my new denso 1 step colder plugs (put the old plugs back on when I seafoamed it so that it wouldn't screw up the new plugs).
 
I placed an order for the cp-e pump. 3rd gear pulls the fuel pressure drops to 1362 with little .4 KR here and there some times .7KR. So Im taking no chances but 4th gear pulls don't look so bad not even at 19psi lol. Here's a DH 4th gear pull graph.

thats a nice graph. Those dashawks are pretty damn nifty tools. and your boost is off the chart!

yeah when ever I do a single gear pull boost will go off chart but if I did multiple gears in one go then boost will show. I'm holding 18/19psi. 20psi when fuel pressure drops.
 
Maybe back down off the 20 lbs map back towards 18. Imho, dropping below 1400 at that peak boost is worrisome to me. How do the plugs look? Yes i worry alot about fuel!
Bet the car is fast as heck though

It is an 18psi map. I think It goes higher because pump can't take it. I'm cautious about the high boost and drive it easy until I get the pump then see how it handles. Haven't check the plugs yet. Yes the car is pretty quick lol.
 
i run 20psi on my map

make sure you close the gap on your plugs to .028
check your wastegate duty cycle and make sure your not maxing it out
